PERSONAL MENTION.

Daniel Manning is vet far from being a
well man. His color is high, but his speech
is indistinct, and it is with difficulty that even
those best acquainted with him can under
stand him.
Mrs. Cleveland has turned her back upon
the White House for the season, the Preiden-
tial home now being at Oak View, from
which place the President drives to the Cap
itol every day.
Senator Colquitt, the probable successor OF
Secretary Lamar in case of the latter's ap-
pointment to the Supreme bench, is an en-
thusiastic temperance man and an earnest
worker in the Sunday-school cause.
Henry Labouchere thus criticises Holman
Hunts picture, "The Awakened Conscence":
"In plain language, l should say of this pict-
ure that it is the art Of the nursery, the color
of the jam pot and the sentiment OF the Sal
vation Army"
Col. James Stapleton Of Stapleton, Ga,
has several bales of cotton that he has kent
ever since the war. lie says he can keen
cotton easier than he can money, and as the
staple ceased long ago to lose in weight he
may be said to be saving as much money as
the cotton is worth.
Bob Ingersoll, in arguing telegraph case
recently, said he hoped and prayed the case
was near its end. An interested and pious
stockholder in the audience caught the word
spray" and responded with a fervent
"amen," whereat there was a broad smile on
the faces OF those who thought of Ingersoll
praying.
Do1ninick j. Ryder, a young man who has
saved seventeen persons from drowning, is
dying from consumption in New York hos
pital. He received q gold medal from Con-
greSs in 1874, two medals from the Humane
Society, and one from the Rockaway Beach
hotel proprietors, and these medals are de-
pended upon to pay his funeral expenses

set, but nerve is the very thing that canoe
ist must cultivate The crew OF an American
sailing canoe generally climbs out to wind
ward and makes live ballast OF himself His
weight on the weather gunwale keeps the
canoe sitter than it would down in the hold
and en- ables her to stand up against pretty
stiff breeze and make better speed. It is
good scheme, however, for Captain, cook,
and all hands to spill himself occa-
sionally for practice. In the canoe
regettas upset races are included,
and some shippers are 80 expert that they
can capsize, right their boats and get inside
and get urder way again in twenty seconds.
This kind of practice teaches a canoeist to
keep every ything on board lashed to its place.
If he depends upon the paddle he must look
out for that first, because canoe without
paddle is as useless as gun without powder
it can't be made to go. The paddle should
be tied with long line to some part of the
canoe so that it may be dropped overheard
without danger of being lost.

TRICKS OF THE MAGICIAN.
THE APPARATUS WITH WHICH
THEY ARE PERFORMED.
The Magic Vase-The Bavonet Catsh-
How the Magic Caddy Is
- Operated.

It isn't to be supposed that Kellar, the
magician, will relish having some Of his
tricks exposed, but the fact is, many of them
are exceedingly simple, and Kellar must him
SELF laugh III his sleeves, as the saying is,
sometimes. over the way people are mystifed
about little things. OF course, there is more
TO a successful magician than a mere knowl-
edge of how to perform tricks. He must be
cool-headed, voiuble, and have very dex-
trous hands, else no will expose his own
work, and be laughed at in consequence.
The following explains some of the acts of
the magician, and any boy or girl given the
apparatus, can, with sufficient practice, be-
come clever sleight-of-hand performers.
Suppose we begin with the trick you have
all seen-that of causing a handker-
chief and a quantity OF beans or coffee
berries to change places without apparent
aid from anybody. In order to perform this
you want a tin vase OF the shape shown in
the cut, and generally about ten inches in

THE SAILING CANOE.

Information About Managing This Inter
estinG Craft.
The sailing canoe is development of COM
parativelv recent date, but it has advanced
wonderfully in favor with men Of aquatic
tastes. Some canoes are built to he used
under sail or with paddle, and are made as
light as is consistent with steadineSS. For
an all-round canoe, one that has a keel or
center-board and is not too heavy to be pad
died with ease, is the best. For racing and
deep water cruising the heavier and larger
boats are used, and they will live in any sea
that is not steep enough to turn them end
over end. Canoes have cruised along the
Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida with
perfect safety. But the navigator must know
thoroughly the pecularities and capabilities
of his little craft. General knowledge of
sailing is not enough. The skipper of a mer-
chantman would be as much at sea, so to
speak, as the most arrant land-lubber in
canoe. Even experience with SIN Il sail
boats does not enable man to sail canoe
safely and skilfully. A flaw that would cause
q cat-boat only to heel over trife may
capsize O canoe in q twinkling The
margin between safety and danger is
very small, as the novice is likely to
discover in very few trials. In sailing
before the wind the English canoeiSt goes
down below. He is nearly fiat in, the canoe
with his head just high enough to see where
he is going. 1t takes some nerve to remain
in that position, because 4 man would find it

THE MAGIC VASE.


walls. A glance at the picture will
make the explanation clear. The out
side of &C" is coIored to resemble the
outside of "a" which it covers. The
internal depth of &C." however, is only little
more than half that of "a" The cover "b"
fits exactly over &c, and by means of little
appliance called a "bayonet catch" will
either lift &C" out of the vase or-allow it to
remain there at your pleasure.
The "bayonet catch" is a useful thing in
magical apparatus. and for that reason de-
serves a little description of its own. AT the
bottom of &c" is a small projecting pin or
button, and at the bottom of 90" is an OPEN
inc that turns into q horizontal slot into
which the pin or button fits. and by which,
when the magician desires, it is retained.
The button is introduced through the verti-
cal opening and is fastened by turning it
into the horizontal sot, which gets pur-
chase on it from beneath. From this it will
he seen that the cover 80" may be made to
carry the well &c" out of the vase, or, by
giving twist and releasing the pin, may
leave it in the vase just as the purposes of
the trick demands.
Next you want the magic caddy. In ap-
pearance this does not look unlike an ordi-
nary tea caddy, divided into three equal
sized compartments, each of which has its
own lid. These lids may be marked "a, "b,"
and &C." To the eye of the uninitiated the
three compartments, when looked into will
appear to be of fair depth-the interiors are
painted black--and certainly there will be no
suspicion of shallOwness; but, upon closer in
spechon, you will see that they are shallow
and that a considerable space intervenes be-
tween the bottom of the compartments and
the bottom of the box. This space may be
about on Sinch in depth. A sliding drawer,
working from end TO end of the caddy, next
comes under consideration. This drawer is
cnly two-thirds the size of the space in which
it plays. 1t is divided into two conpart-
ments, one "d", which has bottom, and the
other "e", which is bottomleSs. 1t must be
stated, too, that there is an OPEN
ing in the false bottom the width of the mid
